PLANTORY AT THE BREADBOX

LOCATION: Lexington, Kentucky

TYPOLOGY: Adaptive Re-use, Renovation, Custom Fabrication, Branded Environment

STATUS: Completed 2014

Located in the BreadBox, a former bread factory on the North side of Lexington, The Plantory is a multi-tenant non-profit incubator for social innovation which offers affordable workspace options for small nonprofit or start-up organizations.  NOMI collaborated with the Plantory to design their new space as well as custom workspace furniture to fit their needs through our in-house fabrication studio.

The project proudly boasts its minimal waste due to the re-purposing of materials recovered during the fabrication process. The conference room screen walls, for example, were made from remnants of the plywood sheets after CNC cuts for the desk frames were made. In addition, each desk was made from one 4’x’8’ sheet of plywood to minimize material and cost.
